I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There's an empty spot on my home screen now that I'll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period
Granted I used Sync and not RiF (though I initially used RiF from like 2013-2015), but it looks so weird seeing the green Liftoff logo on my home screen, which has been largely unchanged for the past 8 years since I started using Sync.
Both Sync & RiF have patches available from the ReVanced team, they've taken the API keys from the official Reddit app and you can then inject them into Sync/RiF using:
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
Can you expand on this please, what is it, and what does it do?
Revanced is a tool some people made to patch apps. It was built to be a successor to vanced which was when basically they distributed modded adfree YouTube APKs. Google sent them a cease and desist, so they built a tool to mod apps yourself.
You likely know but maybe others will see this. Sync for Lemmy is now available.
Jerboa with some minor tweaks in settings (list mode, amoled etc.) looks just like RIF for me. However the comments section is not accurate, but still does a pretty good job. Try it out.
LiftOff? Eli5
It's a Lemmy app that I like. The standard web app version of Lemmy feels cluncky to me, and I like the presentation of LiftOff
One of the new Android apps, Jerboa & Liftoff are open source available on F-Droid. I'm using Connect for Lemmy available on the playstore and Boost will be available soon as well as a myriad of other apps
